The paternalism of the medical industry is insane.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.
I think legislation needs to put an end to doctors profiting on businesses to which they can funnel patients - that is business, not medicine. If you try to call it medicine, then it is corruption. Without legislation, it will keep happening.
Medicine, the only profession that labors incessantly to destroy the reason for its existence.
I mean, everybody should have access to medical care. And, you know, it shouldn't be such a big deal.
The medical profession is - and knows itself to be - endemically conservative and conformist.
The answer for healthcare is market incentives, not healthcare by a Godzilla-sized government bureaucracy.
There's not enough competition and innovation in healthcare.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being paternalistic as a company.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being paternalistic as a company. We are very paternalistic. We have a very good health plan - we take care of people.
We love a growing private sector that allows people freedom of choice, to choose their health plan, to choose their doctor, to choose their hospital.
